Colombia has publicly condemned recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump hinting at potential military action against the South American nation over drug trafficking concerns. The Colombian Foreign Ministry issued a sharp rebuke on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, calling the threats a violation of its sovereignty. 🚩
‘No Room for Threats’
In a strongly worded statement, officials emphasized Colombia’s commitment to combating drug trafficking through ‘evidence-based strategies’ that prioritize human rights. The ministry also urged Latin American and Caribbean nations to unite against external intervention, stating: ‘Our region must stand as one to protect our dignity and autonomy.’
Rising Tensions
Trump’s comments follow reports of 21 U.S. military strikes on suspected drug vessels in Colombian waters since September 2025, resulting in over 80 deaths. 🌊⚔️ Colombia’s response highlights growing friction over Washington’s approach to regional security, with critics calling the tactics ‘heavy-handed’ and ‘counterproductive.’
As of December 2025, diplomatic channels remain open, but the situation underscores the delicate balance between international cooperation and national sovereignty. 🔍🤝
